A Second-Hand Book Shop

I am very excited today because I have found the most fabulous 2nd hand book shop. They have an awesome selection of kids and adults ones if you're happy to dig through - which of course I am an expert at!!!!
The bizarre thing is they sell them by weight. $3.50/100grams. Now not many books weigh 100g but I did get a "Little Miss Tiny" book which might have today . Anyway in case you've never weighed a book lately I bought 8 great near new books for $70.00 Solomons which is about $12 - $14 Kiwi. Needless to say I am stoked and may be their best customer!!!!!!!

Incidentally there are no public libraries here so it is the only source of books

And to think that Kylie, Dad and I slogged our way around the 10,000's of books at the Lifeline book fair to buy a selection for you . Oh well happy reading. Great to get bargains eh?

Enjoy! I know how hard it is to go without books so glad you found this little treasure trove. My family are really excited to be near really good libraries. They are there every week. The kids were really excited to be able to buy the last Harry Potter book on Saturday. We're all hanging out to read it!
